what color?
i want to get my rims fixed and powder coated because they're a little bent and aren't in the best shape, but i can't decide on what color to get them powder coated after they're repaired. i'm thinking about gunmetal
here's my rims

I agree with silver, it matches the car better. Darker would be better if the car was darker...

Depends on how black the rims are, ion's shopped black looks good, but too dark and it would draw too much attention to the rims themselves, and would loose focus on the car as a whole.

I think the silver matches the cars looks well. I'd stick with them silver.

Silver on your car, LIGHT gunmetal might be ok

The darker rims would probably look better with the windows tinted and the tails tinted.
